I'm sure someone will use the recipe if you post it. It does sound yummy.

Last night: chicken and wild rice soup (from a can)

Tonight: cilantro lime chicken soup (from a can)

Why? Because what I thought was worse than usual allergies because my husband was hanging out with his cat turned out to be a cold.... that actually turned out to be the flu. And I work like 12 days a year and this is the only time ever I've had to work 3 in a row and magically I choose now to get sick. World's. Best. Timing. I'm being super careful, not breathing on students, using enough hand sanitizer to choke a donkey. They're adult students, not kids, so no one panic.

I still want nothing but soup and frankly don't have money to throw at cans of soup every day. Not that I have a choice, but I don't want to cook either. I'm going to just pick up some already cut up veggies, throw them in a pot with some chicken and stock and boil some rice a bag. Bam! Dinner for the weekend. I'm frankly too sick to give a crap what my husband eats. He's a grown up, he'll figure something out. Or starve. Whichever. Either way, I'll be asleep all weekend so it won't affect me one way or the other.

no fun

Look! I can post pictures now!

Notice I couldn't wait to get a pic before I bit that pumpkin cupcake. I think we should all get a photobucket account and post pics of our food here! I love me some Food Porn!

Looks good

I know that feeling...

Left over mac and cheese with some steamed veggies.

me too - minus the veggies - i put stewed tomatoes over mine comfort food for me! after tonight's plan was tacos w/the grand kids but the meat was bad! it had an expiration of 10/31..... WHAT? ground beef! i bought iton monday, never checked the date until the package started expanding. how can 'fresh' meat keep until 10/31

anyways, hubs and kids had chinese take-out and i had leftover mac & chz. i love the stuff. if i was stuck on a desert island, i hope i was shipwrecked on a macaroni boat with a cow and a chicken and a giant tomato........... i'll be all like: "look, cow and chicken, another piece of the macaroni boat has washed ashore, but don't tell giant tomato!"

pentameter. whameter.... i have been the voice of persuasion and reason ("because i said so") to 4 grandkids all day, babysitting. going to sleep with the sick one - immune system, you're up. let's see what ya got

Mac and cheese with stewed tomatoes is awesome!!! They used to serve that at the school I went to and I loved it so much. I was the only person who would do double lunch tickets that day, most people just had milk or milk and fruit.

Good luck with the not getting sick thing. Didn't work out for me, so you can have my leftover luck that clearly I didn't use.

Know what's the most insulting? Based on when I started feeling sick, I'm 99% confident I picked it up at the Expo. I am 100% sure there were irresponsible people there who didn't belong there. Someone in line early had a lady join them with her daughter who wasted no time in proudly stating she had pink eye. My immediate thought was "what the holy hell is she doing here?!?!"

Note to self: get flu shot before next year's expo. I guess the bright side is I'm getting this whole being sick thing out of the way early this year.

I have posted the Cowboy Steak soup recipe. I thought it might be nice to make a place we could post soup and chili recipes. Newbies might like it too. I put the brand name of the things I used that might have gluten - like broth. Thought that might make it easier. I made my recipe with a bit more description that I might usually give. I know we get people who haven't cooked much so I didn't want to scare them.

The soup my hub wants when he is sick - Noodles cooked in chicken broth. Youngest son likes some rice in chicken broth. Sometimes I will sneak a few shredded carrots in while the rice or noodles are cooking.

There are 2 things my dad can cook and wants to cook for himself - One involves hot dogs and thinly sliced potatoes in a casserole. the other is a box of mac and cheese, cooked hamburger and a can of stewed tomatoes.

Great idea for the soups and chili thread. I'll cut and paste a few there.

and kudos on posting a pic. Cupcakes look de-lish!!

The Atlanta brisket I made (I saw it on Cook's country) was really good and the meat was fork tender.I served it with smashed potatoes and steamed English peas.

Thursday, it made a delicious brisket sammy on the rolls I had made earlier in the week with a horseradish cream sauce and a cup of the escarole and white bean soup I had made Tuesday (in other words, it was "encore night")

Friday was homemade pizza.

Tonight could be lobster or some hogfish (which is a delicate, mild white fish that is just awesome) but the hubs is not into fish, so he'll get scallops. We'll see what the fish market is doing today. Probably pair that with some caribbean rice and Karen's favorite--haricots verts.

P>S> I have never been a fan of mac and cheese with tomatoes. No offense, all those who love it.

We all have our taste preferences.

My mom hates cheese (I know,I often wonder if I am adopted) and my dad loved the mac and cheese with toms) so we never even got mac and cheese that much as kids. We had to go mooch at someone else's house for it.

tonight i think will be: tacos, take TWO lolz - i have ground venison in the freezer. i guess they can keep their never- expiring cow meat *shudder*

unless i get another Great Idea for Dinner. omgosh, i am having the worst craving for stromboli

i got glutened last weekend (eating out, "untrained" people staying with us, who knows from what) but it feels different - not so many digestive issues as balance/co-ordination, muscle ache, fatigue. wierdddd..... my headache went away almost immediately. oh, and cranky as all get-out: you should hear what i'm not saying out loud (shut up, shut up, shut up!)

Oh, she could make it right apparently---my hubs and my Dad loved it. I just do not like toms in my mac and cheese.

at least your MIL acknowledges your talented cooking skills. my first MIL LOVED me and my cooking. I was an angel in her eyes.

MIL #2? er, nothing about me was right. may she rest in peace.

if it makes you feel better, that's what happens if I get hit. Not the same as when first DXed when I'd be sidelined for weeks.

The muscle pain ramps up to 10 and I get burning nerve and skin pain, a bunch of sores on my face and scalp, I feel off balance and awkward (more awkward than usual lol) , the fatigue is unbeleivable and I want to punch people in the face. People I do not even know. I have to watch a bunch of comedies and stay inside.That's just not right.!... lol

I don't really like the tomato and mac and cheese thing - right or wrong.

I haven't seen my current "MIL" in about 5 years. Hub has seen her two or thee times so we know she is still around.

Want mine? I see her 2 or 3 times a week. I'm sure even my husband would be willing to give her away right now.

I'm a horrible person when I'm glutened too. I can't even go to Wal-Mart because if one person looks at me funny I'll start thinking things like "I swear to God if you so much as open your mouth in my direction I'll stab you in the eye with a spork from the deli." And so I stay home and don't even talk to my husband without the disclaimer that I may say something I don't mean.

Mmmmm.... stromboli. I think the only thing I'm willing to try to get down this sore throat is honeyed tea and more soup. A stromboli does sound like a fun challenge though.

A failed or malfunctioning computer doesn't mean everything is lost. It is possible if you take it to a tech they can retrieve your hard drive information. A blue screen is rarely (if ever) related to your hard drive, so your information is probably all intact. If you have truly valuable information on there, you can probably go to a tech and tell them what you want and see if they can retrieve it for you.

Now if isn't something you already do, you need to get yourself a three-ring binder and start printing out recipes so this never happens again.
